HER “LAST OFFER.”
SPEEDY REARMAMENT.
(United Press Association—By Electric Telepragh—Copyright.) Received July 2, 10.35 a.m. LONDON, July 1.
The Morning Post’s Berlin correspondent understands that the Germany reply to the British memorandum is ready. Herr Hitler’s advisers are advocating the convening of the Reichstag to announce the details. '1 liey emphasise that it is Germany’s last offer. Germany is closely watching tho Montreux discussions and considers that it would be a discrimination against her if Russia were allowed to proceed to the Baltic from the Black Sea.
If concessions are made to Russia Germany will xirobably demand a revision of the Anglo-German naval agreement on tlie ground that the naval balance of power has been upset. British circles do not see justification for suchan attitude, and point out that free egress tor her fleet through tlie Dardanelles has always been Russia's right.
The Manchester Guardian’s Berlin correspoucent reports intensification of the speed of German rearmament, especially in the air.
A total of 250 first-line ’planes are being completed eacli month. The High Command has resolved to have 3300 first-line ’planes and 2800 in reserve, beginning in 1937. Anti-aircraft defences arc proceeding with similar speed.
